boys clothes for girl

My cousin had a little boy six months ago and he grew quickly so she has clothes that are brand new as well as used. She wants to give them to me. I am having a girl and as far as sleepers and onsies and socks and hats and stuff I don't care what colour they are. However I have had a few people say to me that they are boys clothes and therefore obviously not meant for a girl. My question is if somebody were to offer you something whatever it may be (including gear) for the opposite gender (than the gender you are having) would you accept it?

I don't know about you but I sleep in my boyfriends tshirts lol and I wear his sweat pants all the time. Obviously if I'm going out in public I wear my own ladies clothes...there's nothing wrong with it. You're going to go through soooo many onsies and sleepers anyway might as well have more. If you aren't comfortable take them to a buy backs children's place like once upon a child (that's mine in Ohio) and get money for girls stuff

Free is free. Why should you pay out of pocket to please some people's sense of aesthetics? I saved my son's clothes and I'm having a girl so I will just be reusing them. She will have her share of clothes given by other people, no problem. I'm not gonna toss out warm pajamas just because they have silly monsters on them or pirate skulls. ;)

My sister in law has 6 month old twin girls. We are turning down nothing she offers us for our twin boys. Pink frilly swings, boppies, whatever. Exception is dresses, but if it were reversed i would put my girls in football jerseys and trucker hats any day!

My friend used her oldest boy clothes for her little girl and just used a bow or flower that matched the outfit :) made them look adorable. Blue flowers or green headbands, etc. And it was nice for her because she didn't have to buy more clothes. If I was having a girl I would have used my sons clothes as well. I don't see any problem with it.

I really wanted a girl so I could dress her up in adorable clothes and luckily I am having one. A friend of mine gave me HEAPS of used boy clothing. I'm the same as you, I figure onesies etc don't matter and who cares what she's wearing around the house. With the other more dressy things, I decided she doesn't have to be prissy dolly all the time and with the shirts I'll match them with a skirt or wear the pants with a pretty top. She has the cutest tinest pair of converse high tops :)

Seriously.... What's wrong with ppl. My daughter will be wearing tons of my sons clothes. There's nothing wrong with a girl in overalls, John Deere T and pig tails. If you can't figure out she's a girl, that's certainly not a concern of mine.

I'm not a fan of pink so with dd I bought whatever I liked, if it was boy stuff and I liked it I bought it, I just made sure if she was wearing boy stuff that I dressed it up either with a head band or a skirt. On the upside since this ones a boy I have boy clothes already and lots if not girly girls clothes!

I'd definitely take it! The baby doesn't care and they grow out if it all so quickly that it really doesn't make a difference. I'm having a boy and my sister has a ton of boy hand me downs for me, but even if I were having a girl I'd still take the boy stuff. Free stuff is free stuff! You'll have enough other things to buy its nice to save some money.

I agree. Save your money and take the clothes. If you are going out, you can put a bow in her hair or dress her in an girly outfit. I also sleep in my husbands old shirts, so I kind of relate it to that. I wouldn't go out in his clothes, but around the house is fine with me.

Take them!!! I have a son but I am expecting a girl and you better believe I am using his sleepers and bibs and such!! Why not? They are only clothes. My daughter will be the first granddaughter on both sides so I am sure I will get some clothes but really kids grow so quickly!!

Like another said, it's much easier to dress a girl in 'boys' clothes. Just make sure it doesn't say something specific like 'daddy's little man or momma's handsome guy' and you and the baby will be fine.

Before we knew the sex I tried to shop gender neutral and found most of those clothes were in the 'boys' section anyways. We now know we will be having a little princess and now not everything will be pink.
